I can confirm linux installs without issue on Intel based NUCs. Much support for most popular linux flavors. Also, you can use HDMI to DVI and or mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapters/dongles so you can save costs and keep the same displays.

I assume this just works, but does anyone have recent experience/advice regarding putting Linux on Intel NUC's? or similar hardware. I admin my retired boss's desktop boxes. They are ancient core 2 duo boxes with a pathetic 2gig of RAM each. I suggested updating them to i5's from Free Geek's thrift store for about $200-$250 each, to get them into the current decade's equipment, but he said he might be willing to go better than that. The NUC's are in the $500 range with memory and storage (we have them set up as terminals currently, all the important files live on an NFS server, so local storage needs are minimal). Getting NUCs would probably require updating the displays as well, since it looks like the NUCs are HDMI only and his displays are VGA/DVI, iirc. Thanks for advice. -- Russell Senior, President russ...@personaltelco.net _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug _______________________________________________ PLUG mailing list PLUG@lists.pdxlinux.org http://lists.pdxlinux.org/mailman/listinfo/plug
